Companies from across the country were rewarded last week for leading the way in good animal welfare practice at the RSPCA Good Business Awards.

The glamorous awards ceremony, held at London's Natural History Museum and hosted by TV presenter Matthew Wright, revealed the country's top achievers when it comes to the treatment of animals in the cosmetics, fashion and food industries.

And the winners are...

The following winners were announced from the three categories of food, cosmetics and fashion;

  • M&S - Fashion

  • Lush - Cosmetics retailer

  • Essential Care - Cosmetics small company

  • M&S Food - Food supermarket

  • Samphire Norfolk - Small Food retailer

  • Owl and the Pussycat Devon - restaurant

    Designer Wayne Hemingway, who was one of the judges, said, "All the winning companies should be highly praised for what they have achieved in terms of setting a benchmark for animal welfare in business, and for blazing a bright trail for others to follow. After all, ethical consumerism is high on the public agenda - it can only make sense for other companies to take notice and make improvements."

    The RSPCA launched the Good Business Awards in 2005 to encourage companies to adopt welfare-friendly policies to reflect the wishes of its consumers and in turn reap financial and moral benefits.
